sex and ghsv 1

[Lani2012]

Will I be able to live normally and have a normal exciting sex life with genital hsv 1? I have a new partner and want to be able to enjoy sex like I use to without being paranoid about infecting my partner.

I dont understand why I have to disclose that I have ghsv1 when people with ohsv1 dont have to say anything. Its so unfair and I feel horrible.

I dont know how to tell my new partner or if I will ever have the guts to. I dont know what to do I really hatethis :'(

The thing is im so young and when I was diagnosed I felt like my life was over and still do. How could anyone ever want someone with this. I feel like ive so.many people down. I havebt told anyone of my dx. My main fear is passing this to my partner and baby in the future. I want to have a healthy happy family.

I live a normal life and have a normal sex life as well :)  I don't see having ghsv1 as a death sentence or life sentence.  I have had ghsv1 for 2 years now and it hasn't changed my quality of life at all. I haven't had anyone freak out on me when I explain what ghsv1 is either.  :)

I totally understand. I'm very afraid of infecting my bf although he is aware that I have the virus. Now I'm speaking for myself. I find it very hard to have a normal sexual relationship with my bf because of my fear. My Dr has spoke to me serval time about being paranoid. She told me to enjoy my time with my bf and continue to take my meds that she prescribed.

I hope this helps.
Take care!
